GUIDE FOR DESIGN OF FOUNDATIONS AND SHOULDERS FOR CONCRETE PAVEMENTS
METHODS ARE SUGGESTED FOR MATERIAL SELECTION, MOISTURE CONTROL, AND COMPACTION OR TREATMENT OF SOILS AND MATERIALS TO ASSURE VOLUME STABILITY AND UNIFORM SUPPORT FOR CONCRETE PAVEMENTS. VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTS ARE CONSIDERED AND APPROPRIATE METHODS OF SUBGRADE PREPARATION OUTLINED. BASE AND SUBBASE FUNCTIONS ARE DEFINED AND ADAPTABILITY OF TYPES OF SUBBASE DISCUSSED. PLACEMENT OF MATERIALS TO AID IN SUBBASE MOISTURE CONTROL WAS EMPHASIZED IN SHOULDER DESIGN. REFERENCES TO PERTINENT TECHNICAL MANUALS AND ARTICLES ARE MADE THROUGHOUT AND AASHO AND ASTM STANDARD METHODS AND TESTS ARE KEYED WHERE APPROPRIATE. A SECTION ON RECOGNITION OF CAUSES OF DEFICIENCES IN EXISTING PAVEMENT IS INCLUDED TO ALERT THE ENGINEER TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF IMPROPER CONSTRUCTION OR ADVERSE ENVIRONMENT. /AUTHOR/
